Hey guys... I need help ;)
Somtimes I get annoying advertisement on my homepage: http://the-chosen1.square7.ch/
The problem is, that I don't know where this ads come from.
Whether this ads are from the server, on which i hosted my website, or from the usercounter / the "Share this" Button / the Shoutbox ... etc.
Even the firefox popup blocker wasn't able to block these popups.
Since this ads shows rather rarely, I couldn't get out, whats responsible for the ads.
Is there an easy trick - how I'm able to find out? Or did you have similar problems?
D'you get these Popups, too?

If an advert can get onto your site without your knowledge, so can a virus.

Mhmm yeah actually thats shure... But I know the source code, so I know all the scripts on my Site.
And I know, that I'm hosting on square7, I'm using the DiggThis buttong, a shoutbox from shoutbox.us and a sharethisbutton from sharethis.com

All of this sites have a lot of users / are popular and tested.
So why should they use their popularity to create viruses.
Despite that, I know what my computer does. There are no java or active x elements, which harm your computer. So you need to DOWNLOAD a virus. But thats not the case!
THERE IS NO VIRUS. I'm shure of that. But I don't know which of this scripts opened this ad.

In case you don't know:
Viruses are Illegal.
Advertisement not!
So why should a popular Webhoster post viruses on the websites of their customers????

Mmhm okay... I checked my Site.
There are NO viruses, adware etc. at all!
The Advertisement is from my Hoster (sqare 7)
The popups opens minimized and they close automatical, in case you don't click on them.
Adblock plus is able to blog these ads.
So what d'you think? Are there popups really annoying or d'you even get this popups?
I could change to an ad-free server, but like square7 (7gb space / 20 domains / 20 mysql slots :P)
